Chicks With Guns

Chicks With Guns, a gorgeous new book by Lindsay McCrum, is a lot more cerebral than it sounds.

Fine art photographer McCrum shot dozens of portraits of women with their firearms, accompanied by personal statements from each woman.

The women are young and old, casual and formal, hailing from all over the country. Of course, a handful reside in Texas. And a few look familiar.

Although McCrum only gives the first names of her subjects, it’s hard to miss Lynn Wyatt, who describes a particularly cool hunting trip with her husband:

“At the North Pole we stayed in an ice house built by our guides, ice brick by ice brick, before our very eyes. Pulled by dog sleds during the day, at night we slept in sleeping bags on top of several layers of blankets and sealskins on the ice. At 30 degrees below zero I sure hated to crawl out of the sack, literally.”
